La Dame Aux Camélias ALEXANDRE DUMAS, FILS COMPLETE CLASSICS La Dame aux UNABRIDGED Read by Camélias Nicholas Boulton Dumas’s novel became one of the great love stories from its first publication in 1848. The title role of the consumptive heroine and her ultimate sacrifice inspired actresses from Sarah Bernhardt to Greta Garbo, and led Giuseppe Verdi to write La traviata. In the hands of Nicholas Boulton, the story of passion and conflict is as fresh and moving as when it was first written. Nicholas Boulton graduated from The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, winning the BBC Carleton Hobbs Award for Radio. He has since featured in countless BBC radio dramas, narrated a plethora of award- winning audiobooks, and died a thousand deaths in various video games. Film, TV and theatre appearances include Shakespeare in Love, Game of Thrones and Wolf Hall (RSC).

  • THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas
    THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas THE AUTHOR Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was born in a small French village northeast of Paris. His father had been a general under Napoleon, and his paternal grandfather had lived in Haiti and had married a former slave woman there, thus making Dumas what was called a quadroon. Napoleon and his father had parted on bad terms, with Dumas’ father being owed a large sum of money; the failure to pay this debt left the family poor and struggling, though the younger Dumas remained an admirer of the French emperor. Young Dumas moved to Paris in 1823 and took a job as a clerk to the Duke of Orleans (later to become King Louis Philippe), but soon began writing plays. Though his plays were successful and he made quite a handsome living from them, his profligate lifestyle (both financially and sexually) kept him constantly on the edge of bankruptcy. He played an active role in the revolution of 1830, and then turned to writing novels. As was the case with Dickens in England, his books were published in cheap newspapers in serial form. Dumas proved able to crank out popular stories at an amazing rate, and soon became the most famous writer in France. Among his works are The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1845), and The Man in the Iron Mask (1850). Dumas’ novels tend to be long and full of flowery description (some cynics suggest that this is because he was paid by the word), and for this reason often appear today in the form of abridged translations (if you ever doubt the value of such an approach, take a look at the unabridged version of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables sometime).

  • Abstract the Epic of 1804: Based Upon And
    ABSTRACT THE EPIC OF 1804: BASED UPON AND INCORPORATING AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MAURICE A. SIXTO’S J’AI VENGE LA RACE Myriam Souffrant, M.A. Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Northern Illinois University, 2017 Matthew Smith, Director This thesis is a play written in English based upon the French audio recording entitled J’ai vengé la race by Maurice A. Sixto, famed Haitian story teller, comedian, diplomat and language professor (1919-1984). Mr. Sixto is regarded in Haitian literature as an oratory genius for his uncanny ability to analyze every segment of Haitian society using a rich and prolific narrative. With humor, wisdom, and a deft understanding of Haitian societal norms, he used his iconic voice to create authentic characters that have become part of the Haitian cultural fabric. His stories exposed the ills plaguing 20th century Haitian society; everything from the psychological remnants of slavery, to class differentiation and discrimination and beyond. As it is written, the play is in keeping with the Haitian literary tradition of a narrative within a narrative style of storytelling that Sixto uses in J’ai vengé la race. The play also does not support a fixed chronological canon, leaving its conclusion without closure and open to speculation. Thematically, the play is polymorphous, its themes ranging from the supernatural, to historical criticism, to personal testimony, to mysticism, to sex.

LIPPINCOTT COMPANY Ltd Westminster : ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO 1902 Butler & Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome, and London. ^l&'il^li — Preface IT may be—to be exact, it is—a somewhat presumptuous thing to write a book and call it Alexandre Dumas. There is no question here of introducing an unknown man or discovering an unrecognized genius. Dumas is, and has been for the better part of a century, the property of all the world : there can be little new to say about one of whom so much has already been said. Remembering also, as I do, a dictum by one of our best known men of letters to the effect that the adequate biographer of Dumas neither is nor is likely to be, I accept the saying at this moment with all the imfeigned humility which experience entitles me to claim. My own behef on this point is that, if we could conceive a writer who combined in himself the anecdotal facility of Suetonius or Saint Simon, with the loaded brevity of Tacitus and the judicial irony of Gibbon, such an one might essay the task with a reasonable prospect of success—though, after all, the probability is that he would be quite out of S5nnpathy with Dumas.

McCLOY THE NEGRO IN FRANCE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY PRESS Copyright© 1961 by the University of Kentucky Press Printed in the United States of America by the Division of Printing, University of Kentucky Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 61-6554 FOREWORD THE PURPOSE of this study is to present a history of the Negro who has come to France, the reasons for his coming, the record of his stay, and the reactions of the French to his presence. It is not a study of the Negro in the French colonies or of colonial conditions, for that is a different story. Occasion­ ally, however, reference to colonial happenings is brought in as necessary to set forth the background. The author has tried assiduously to restrict his attention to those of whose Negroid blood he could be certain, but whenever the distinction has been significant, he has considered as mulattoes all those having any mixture of Negro and white blood.

  • Príloha Č. 1 Pre Detailnejšie Ozrejmenie Divadelného
    Príloha č. 1 Pre detailnejšie ozrejmenie divadelného prevedenia Marguerite v Ostrave som rozanalyzovala rozhovor s Alainom Bou blil o m . Pri analýze som dospela k nasledujúcim výsledkom, k toré pre ich lepšie porozumenie uvádzam spojitosťou s otázka mi v rozhovoru: Ste spokojný s hereckým obsadením? Bolo ťažké vybra ť vhodných adeptov? „Stretli sa tu veľmi talentovaný ľudia. Úroveň spie vania, herectva i tance je tu v Ostrave vysoká, takže nebo l problém vyberať. Myslím si, že výsledok bude dobrý. Národné divadlo moravskoslezské považujem, za veľmi dobré divadlo. V podstate mi toľko nezáleží na tom, či pracujem na Broadwayi, alebo v Ostrave. Jediné, o čo mi ide, je prinášať publiku čo najkvalitnejšie predstavenie.“ V čom je nová verzia iná? „Proti pôvodnej som chcel lepšie vykresliť charakte r a psychologický portrét hlavnej postavy, speváčky M arguerite. Dospel som k názoru, že je to pre príbeh dôležité a preto som poprosil svoju ženu Mariu Zamoru, ktorá sa na scéna ri pre ostravskú verziu podieľala, aby mi pomohla rozvinúť charakter postavy. V ostravskej verzii sú tiež novinkou tri p iesne, ktoré som napísal s Michelem Legrandom. V prvej piesni le pšie poznávame charakter Armanda, hlavného hrdinu, v dru hej zase Marguerite, jej pohnútky a vzťah k Armandovi. Treti a nová pieseň potom predstavuje menšie postavy.“ Podmienkou uvedenia Marguerite na ostravskej scéne bol konkurz na obsadenie všetkých rolí, v ktorom ste si vyhradil hlavné slovo. Je u Vás takýto dohľad nad obsadením pravidlom? „Áno. Keď ide o nový muzikál, požadujem konkurz nie len na hlavné role, ale i na menšie postavy. Podobne som d ohliadal na obsadenie Bedárov v Londýne, New Yorku, Sydney i v Tokiu.

THE REMEDIATION OF DUMAS FILS' LA DAME AUX CAMÉLIAS by BRANDI L. GUINED Under the Direction of Emily Bloom ABSTRACT Alexandre Dumas fils’ La Dame aux Camélias has existed in various media for more than 150 years, originating from life events that were mediated through the novel and remediated via theater, opera, and film. I examine in my thesis how this particular narrative has survived the centuries and how each depiction relates the social expectations, desires, and fears of the time period in which the revised story is generated. The relationship between Dumas and the famous courtesan Marie Duplessis and its fictional recreations in Dumas’ novel La Dame aux Camélias, his play Camille, Giuseppe Verdi’s opera La Traviata, and Baz Luhrmann’s film Moulin Rouge! reflects a human compulsion to create narratives in order to grasp daily events and to potentially escape those events or comment upon those which do not fit concisely into their socially expected codes of understanding.
